But at least you’re not leaving behind anything too important. An umbrella can be replaced. It probably doesn’t have any sentimental value.

Not so lucky are the people who left behind some more strange and wonderful things on buses last year.

We’ll never know if the person who lost their boiled egg had to radically change their dinner plans, or if there’s a heartbroken woman out there still mourning the loss of her light saber.

The Oxford Bus has shared a list of the strangest items of the 2,800 things that ended up in their lost and found department in 2018. They’ve actually seen a decrease in the number of belongings left behind, as 4,123 items were recorded in 2017, but we’re still talking about quite a lot of stuff.
